4 1 Introduction 1.1 Purpose of this Document This document is a 32-bit software reference manual for the SST line of DeviceNet interface cards. The DeviceNet interface cards have there own separate CPU that executes downloaded application software modules. Each of these software modules has an accompanying manual that describes its operation SST, a division of Woodhead Canada Limited 1

5 2 Software Installation 2.1 SETUP.EXE SETUP.EXE is a 32-bit Windows setup program located on disk 1 of the setup disk set. This program will install all files and create program icons for the Windows applications and utilities. Setup will also add configuration information to the system registry. This information is required by applications for proper operation. Setup will also allow you to add or modify the default card configuration created by the setup process. You must reboot the system for these changes to take effect. All files on the release disks are compressed and must be installed using the setup program. It is highly recommended that you install using the default directory. 2.2 Application Modules The release disks contain several application modules. These include utility applications and a variety of CAN and DeviceNet communication applications Application Help Files Some of the applications contain context sensitive help. Icons are created during the installation for quick access to each of the available help files and quick start guides Shadow RAM Shadow RAM provides faster access to information stored in ROMs by transferring it to RAM memory. Do not shadow the area where the card is located in memory. If you do, the shadow RAM and the card memory will conflict Pentium AMI BIOS If you are using a Pentium computer with AMI BIOS, the wording for setting up shadow RAM in the AMI BIOS Advanced Setup is confusing. The default for Disable Shadow Memory size is Disable, which in fact means that you re disabling the disable of shadow RAM! Instead, you must change the setting to match the size of the card, for example 32k or 16K. You must also set Disable Shadow Memory base to match the start address of the card, for example D000. In a computer with an AMI Plug and Play BIOS, in the advanced section, you must set the ISA shared memory size to match the size of the area to be occupied by the card, for example 16K, and the ISA shared memory base address to match the memory address of the card. If there are other cards in the computer which require shadow RAM to be disabled, the area you specify must encompass these cards as well SST, a division of Woodhead Canada Limited 2

6 3 Direct-Link Configuration Utility 3.1 Introduction The Direct-Link Configuration utility is used to create card configurations and setup module information for use with 32-bit applications under Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT Card Information Each card configuration requires a name. This name is used by applications to access a SST DeviceNet interface card located at the I/O address and memory location as specified in the card configuration. Resource I/O Address I/O Count Memory Address Memory Count Interrupt Level Card Family Bus Type Description The I/O address (HEX) used to communicate with the SST DeviceNet interface card as configured by the dip switches. See the appropriate Hardware Reference for dip switch settings. The number of I/O addresses required by the SST DeviceNet Interface card. Set to 8. The physical memory address (HEX) memory at which the SST DeviceNet interface card is to be mapped. i.e. D0000 (corresponds to D000:0000) The size of the memory window (HEX) required by the SST DeviceNet interface card. Set to 4000 (16K). Some applications may require an interrupt for correct operation. The SST DeviceNet Interface cards support interrupt levels 2, 5, and 7 but interrupts are typically optional. Indicates the family of interface card this configuration is defined for (i.e DNP). This field is must be configured for proper operation. Defines the type of bus interface the SST DeviceNet Card is designed for (i.e. PCMCIA or ISA) Module Information Configuring module information with the Direct-Link Configuration utility allows an application to load modules at runtime eliminating the need for a separate module loader application. Module information is organized separately for each family of SST interface cards. Identifier Family Name Family Code Module Type Module Id Module Path Description All SST DeviceNet interface cards have a family name 5136-DN (standard DeviceNet card family) or 5136-DNP (DeviceNet Pro family). All SST DeviceNet interface cards have a family code, DN or DNP. All modules have the SS1 (for DN interface cards) or SS2 (for DNP interface cards) extension. Each module has a unique identifier. This allows an application to verify the correct module is loaded prior to running. See the table below. Specifies the location of the desired module SST, a division of Woodhead Canada Limited 3

7 3.1.3 Module ID Index Module entries are created for all of the SST DeviceNet card modules during the setup process. The table below lists each module and its Module ID. Module Name DNMON.SS1 CAN2A.SS1 CAN2B.SS1 DNSCAN.SS1 GRAB2A.SS1 Module ID 10 hex 11 hex 12 hex 14 hex 15 hex These Module ID s are also listed in the host interface header block section in each application module reference manual SST, a division of Woodhead Canada Limited 4
